June 13, 2018 — One of Abraham Lincoln’s personal bodyguards was Smith Stimmel, who later practiced law in North Dakota.

As Stimmel accompanied Lincoln’s carriage to his summer home, they met a military officer on horseback. The officer recognized Lincoln and lifted his hat in a graceful salute. Lincoln was busy with some papers and didn’t see the salute until the last second. “He threw up...

I was watching television and checking Facebook (multi-tasking two mindless chores) when the lights flickered on and off repeatedly. I finally gave up and unplugged the television and computers before getting ready to go run errands. Just in time, too. The power went off (and stayed off) just as I got done drying my hair.
